Times Of Israel: Since Oct. 7, Berlin has quietly fast-tracked citizenship for hostages and their families
On October 7, 2023, brothers Yagil and Or Yaakov were abducted from their home in Israel, prompting their uncle to seek German citizenship for them based on their descent from a Holocaust survivor. Within two weeks, the boys were granted citizenship, allowing them to receive German passports upon their release during a ceasefire in late November.
This expedited citizenship process was part of a broader effort by the German government to assist hostages with German roots. The German embassy in Tel Aviv acted quickly to support families, reflecting a significant diplomatic initiative amidst the ongoing conflict. The surge in interest for German citizenship among Israelis highlights a complex emotional response tied to historical trauma and the search for security.

GB News: Elon Musk awarded billions despite Tesla's global sales diving as drivers lose faith in electric brand
Tesla's UK vehicle registrations plummeted by 60% in July, dropping to 987 units from 2,462 last year, marking a stark contrast to a 14% increase in June. This decline is part of a broader downturn across Europe, with significant drops in Sweden, France, Belgium, and Germany.
The decline coincided with rising competition from Chinese automaker BYD, which saw substantial growth in the UK and Germany. Analysts suggest that Elon Musk's political involvement may be impacting consumer interest in Tesla, as sales continue to struggle despite a new Model Y release. The overall UK automotive market also faced a 5% decline, reflecting ongoing consumer uncertainty.

This decision follows a review of mRNA investments made during the pandemic.
Kennedy plans to redirect funding to alternative vaccine platforms but has not provided details. Critics, including former BARDA officials, argue that dismantling mRNA technology undermines national security and pandemic preparedness.
